Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

Ages 8-12. The first and best book in the very popular series describes the ups and downs of a precocious ten-year-old girl. Anastasia loves keeping lists of important information in her green notebook; when she discovers that her mother is pregnant, she instantly adds two new items to her "things I hate" list: "My parents" and "babies." But as the year passes, Anastasia finds that the items on her lists keep moving around; by the time her baby brother is born, the only thing left to hate is liver. An unusually warm, insightful and original portrait of childhood and family life, this is a special and memorable story. Horn Book called Anastasia "an amusing and engaging heroine" and The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books wrote, "the whole book is a delight." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


Product Description

Anastasia's tenth year has some good things, like falling in love and really getting to know her grandmother, and some bad things, like finding out about an impending baby brother. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lois Lowry's Anastasia Krupnik Book, Feb 24 2004
This review is from: Anastasia Krupnik (Paperback)
This is one of Lois Lowry's earliest books, in fact it is her second book. The story follows ten-year old Anastasia Krupnik, the daughter of a poet and an artist as she completes the fourth grade. Anastasia changes her opinion of several things, from Washburn Cummings (her crush) to her parents, baby brother, and grandmother. While this book is not typical of Lowry's work (not even the books she wrote later about Anastasia) it is worth your time to read it. It should also be noted that this children's book has a few curse words in it and that there is mention of beer, in fact the main character drinks beer. Other than that, you may very well enjoy this book. It is different from Lowry's later works, but its still charming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coming-of-age for smart kids, Dec 28 2003
By Zoja (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anastasia Krupnik (Paperback)
A great beginning to a great series. Nothing sentimental or overdramatic here, just a quirky, smart kid growing up. This is a perfect gift for young, bright girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars You really should read this, Jun 21 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Anastasia Krupnik (Paperback)
This is a really great book. I read it when I was ten, and I thought it was great. Now I'm almost thirteen,but I still love the series! If you're 10,11,12,or 13, in at least one of these books, Anastasia will be your exact age! The characters in the series are totally real, and you can probably find one who's just like you. You'll really love this book AND all the rest in the series, if you're 10 or 110!!!
